I’ve been the GM for my friend group and for one year I’ve been the architect giving voice to many places, many characters, a whole world for us to explore. At times my goal was only to instill fears into my players, identify what they were most afraid of loosing and made the threat of it happening looming over their head. I rarely every killed my characters, I just feel shitty doing so; and I found more _creative_ ways of creating consequences for failures. I didn’t just want death to be a problem, I wanted real consequences: being forcefully put under the control of the whomever they were fighting, becoming crippled, or loosing something dear to them. By doing so, when they succeed at accomplishing the goal they set for themselves, it felt amazing and epic! Finally killing this boss! It was a _more-than-amazing_ experience and it has left me with unforgettable memories which where at the same time funny&epic. We had to stop because they all started their superior studies after high school and I was one year younger than them. We’re still in contact but we’re all far away from one another and we’re sooo busy. I’m going to try to find a group to play with, I hope I will because solo TTRPG is cool but I miss the social emulation. I still prep games, but for nothing because I can’t actually see what I made in action; me being forced to improvise, etc… I miss doing that lol. So yeah, just wanted to tell this little story Good night ;)

I just finished another Cyberpunk game called Sanibi, I highly recommend it, it’s freaking amazing. I don’t know which other cyberpunk game I can play with great stories (already done Katana Zero) so I bought Celeste but I’m almost at the top of the mountain already.
So I continued my play through of BGIII and I had a blast!

I was playing Sanibi yesterday, my heart was warmed by the introduction with his daughter playing with the main character. Now I’m just crying all tears, but the game is amazing

Le casque de réalité mixte d’Apple génère un grand engouement auprès d’une partie de la population, surtout les hommes fans de technologie. Du côté des femmes en revanche, l’attention semble minime, voire inexistante. Pourquoi ce produit semble-t-il tant segmenter ?
Le fait que ça soit basé sur aucune source à part “son ressenti” c’est un peu ridicule. Vraiment, c’est analyser tous les aspects de la vie sous le prisme du genre des gens ce qui est, au final un peu sexiste, comme ce qu’ils dénoncent.
EDIT: bien sûr que pour chaque tech il y a de l’abus | en plus, c’est même pas un casque de réalité mixte ils disent de la merde en plus

I’m in the french high school system which are very long working days (which is normal) on uninteresting things with teachers that hate teaching, and classmates with endearing stories but questionable sex lives of which they talk way too much.
In all this shallowness, I have no energy when I get back at home, after doing my shitty math homework, to even boot up my laptop to work on my coding project.
It’s constantly fighting your mind that tells you that there’s more to life, that you should not waste your time with such a poor experience.
But you don’t have self-determination, you just have the responsibilities of going there, putting down a smile, and get fingered for good grades to go to a shitty engineering school teaching Java from 2008 and then work at a shit ass computing job where you’re the genius computer guy installing Adobe Reader on everyone’s PC.

I went to Malawi during 2-weeks for faring in an eco-lodge and I remember that in the contact of new people & nature I felt better than ever, I feel like it’s not my mind but more of the accumulation of shitty stuff everyday.
I’m actually in the situation you lived through, I’m in the french high school system, last year with exams. School has always been hard for me, fighting my mind, being harassed, I’ve come to hate it, I’d be better off on wikipedia learning stuff by myself.
But everyday I’m forced to go to experience the shallowness of people, teachers & educators. I have no energy to do anything but… consume content on my phone to not think about my shitty situation.
And right now, I’m so fed up this existence of student, trapped in the petulent academic system that I can even focus anymore. I can’t think, I can’t write, I can’t remember.

I love making music, I love coding & contributing to open-source, I love writing/DMing tabletop roleplaying games & stories, I love reading fantasy & philosophy (mainly) books, I love to grow gourmet shrooms, I love meeting interesting people, urban exploration
I love the world and what it has to offer, I can not participate in it… I’m stuck in this shitty situation
I’ve 🐝 bee-n fighting for two years now. I have this « job » that I’ve been stuck with forever now. My inability to enjoy the little things of life is just another indication of my dereliction: hating the bitter man I’m becoming, seeing myself in people I despise, being unable to think, speak, create. There’s no future for me here. No way out from my work. No time to dedicate to what I love. I read the introduction of Camus’ « L’homme Révolté » about absurdism in other to be something else than a consuming shitty human, and I don’t agree with most of the moral dilemmas: killing yourself is not the same as killing another person. I’m making a choice for myself and maybe, one of the limits of this argument is that I’m imposing my absence on others… But who might miss me? My family & friends? It’s true, there are the ones that made me stay this long, but nothing is changing, and I need to help myself. ಥ_ಥ, maybe see you tomorrow ?

EDIT: Listening to Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker didn’t help lol but I don’t know, it was so gripping I couldn’t stop listening… it was like looking in the abyss… and feeling like loosing yourself. I want to make some music like that.
My mind has been conjuring the worse nightmare and sad shits I thought I could imagine. To fight this I decided to release some of my music. There aren’t much people that listened to it (30!!) but the good comments help me get through the last days.

I’m on the same distro !! Trying to make EVERYTHING perfect
I’m trying to get accustomed to writing asynchronous/concurrent Rust or any language! I just want to build software that helps people, and hopefully makes friends along the way.
I’m sure the email I sent to an academics using proton has gone in the spam. :( too bad
If a game hypes a lot of people up, it will be verified. That’s like, the most important factor… not even the performance, the controls, etc… As seen in the title, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the perfect example of this: running at 20FPS with constant dips and my Steam Deck on the verge of exploding isn’t what I call “a game flawlessly running on the Steam Deck…” Just try to be honest guys, it’s okay if the game is badly rated for compatibility with the Steam Deck, it’s not a big deal if it’s too demanding to run on the handled. But *DON’T BE MISLEADING*… Thanks :)) EDIT: Not tested on the most recent major update. The big one with many changes to the flow of the game.
Hey! My mom recently decided to cancel her subscription to Netflix as she didn’t to give money to corporations and heard about how I got everything I needed online through Torrenting. I decided to make a little surprise for her and make her the most convenient TV setup she can easily use! It’s hard because I’m a tech-savvy guy and I just watch everything with VLC/mpv after getting it on qBitTorrent. For her convenience as she knows little about piracy, I don’t want to force her to look for the ideal torrents, and the language/subtitles. (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ Here’s my idea: the ideal Streamio + + Torrentio + Trakt on an Android TV. I just need to know about some things: - Your recommended Stemio add-ons to make her life easier. I need to read [this list (GitHub’s awesome-stremio)](https://github.com/doingodswork/awesome-stremio#addons) - If she doesn’t find the show in French in the list, how to make it super easy to get the right subtitles from OpenSubtitles? - We have a Mi Stick as an Android TV and the experience has been very bad, It’s tiny & laggy, I shouldn’t have bought this for her. - That’s why I want to know your experience with Nvidia Shield and which model should I get for a *snappy* experience? If you have any other advices, please do enlighten me !! -noctis
… the founding ideas are promising, and something I dream of. Before I start, just a little bit of background on me so you can understand how biased I am (😅): I’m a 16 years old programmer and I won a few crypto hackathon/funding rounds and I made a lot of friends in the field. It allowed me to get quite a bit of ETH/XMR along the way! I see cryptocurrencies getting a lot of hate, rightly so for the number of scams, shitcoins, NFTs bullshit, “governance”, DAOs and all those often useless & snob terms. However the founding ideas of decentralisation and freedom with your money are very appealing to me. Smart contracts are really interesting for creating your own banking operation and tokens can represent anything! It’s a world of possibilities to play with, and you get to build something useful for people! I’d just like to add a bit of nuance tho: I see a lot of apps being built and what’s really making me laugh is the lack of open-source, decentralisation and auditing on privacy. Granted, there is a lot of fake promises, but it’s like everything, you have to find the talented people to follow. I find it fascinating to build unstoppable, decentralised, user-first apps. I just hope that web3 stays true to its founding principles. Hope it was interesting, tell me what you think! EDIT: title+typos+the game is not comfortably played in Act 2
